Discovery Is Not Your Friend

Your AEs need to build their own pipeline. Every week.

When the calendar gets full, cold calling gets pushed back. I help your AEs stick to a weekly calling routine and learn what to say so the time they spend dialing feels worth it.

At least 500 calls a week About 3 hours per AE

01 / The hard truth

Discovery is not your friend. Not on a cold call.

Good AEs ask questions to understand a deal. On a cold call, the prospect hasn't agreed to that conversation yet. The job is to earn the meeting.

I'll show your AEs how to open the call, handle a brush-off, and ask for the meeting. They'll hear those moves on my real calls and try them on their next dialing block.

02 / The routine

Make calling a weekly habit.

A short course and private coaching group for AEs. We work on both sides of the problem: making the calls consistently and getting better at turning them into meetings.

  1. Take the course

    Each AE works through the short recorded course at their own pace.

  2. Hear what works

    Every lesson uses real calls from Ryan. Hear how he opens, handles pushback, and asks for a meeting.

  3. Get coached

    Bring questions to Ryan in private Slack. Review calls together as needed.

  4. Hit 500 calls a week

    Protect time to dial. Track calls and meetings set each week so you can see what's improving.

03 / Targets, not guarantees

The math

500 calls a week, about 3 hours. Baseline: about one meeting per 500 calls. Target: one per 350 to one per 250.

Assumes a 20% close rate on meetings held. The table assumes all listed meetings are held.

Goal: one additional closed deal per AE per month by month 3.

Targets, not guarantees. Results depend on your team, market, and deal size.
